Imperial past and present
As far as I'm concerned, this is THE place to stay in Sibiu. First documented in 1555, the Imaparatul Romanilor was so named in 1773 and the present building completed in 1895. The guest book is long and illustrious including some of Europes most famous musicians, leaders and members of royal families. Though not a fan of royalty in any shape or form I have to admit to being just a little bit amused that I was staying at the same hotel Prince Charles stays in when he comes to Sibiu.
Outside it certainly looks impressive and inside the 'Grand Hotel' theme is carried over in the extravagent and exhuberant decor. The drapes are a little faded here and there and the furnitutre a little rickety in places but the white wood panelling with gold trim, huge crystal chandeliers and numerous oil paintings tell their own story. This is a beautiful hotel and walking through the large sunlit rooms en route to breakfast, was an experience I relished every morning.
Breakfast itself was plentiful though some of the dishes were not entirely to my taste. However, there was cereal, boiled eggs, yogurt, bread and honey so what more could you need ?
We occupied two rooms during our four-night stay here. The first one (in picture 4), I absolutely loved, for its pristine white and blue decor and soft pillows. The second one, we moved to on Sunday evening because music from a christening party downstairs was pretty noisy. This was bigger than bedroom one but IMO, not so pretty.
Bathrooms were on the small side but as they included actual baths as well as showers this was a big plus.
We had a few glitches with a receptionist who was obviously still being trained but overall the staff were friendly and helpful, especially the reception manager who helped to make our stay here really pleasant.
I absolutely loved staying here and would recommend it without hesitation, For perect location and unique ambience, you won't do better in Sibiu.
As regards price, we got a really good rate as because of the VT meet . For current prices check the website.
Unique Quality: Location, location, location. Sibiu is one of the most beautiful cities you are ever likely to stay in and this hotel is positioned right at its heart. One minute from its doorstep and you're in the main square and centre of the acion.

Hotel 'Imparatul Romanilor'
Built in 1772 next to an old inn, renovated several times, the present building dated 1895.
Hotel Împaratul Romanilor ('The Romans' Emperor') is one of the most exclusive institutions of this kind in Romania.
Renovated couple of years ago, the hotel offers today the modern comfort without loosing the charm of the past. All rooms have private shower/bath and colour TV and the breakfast is included in a very moderated price.
During the years the hotel hosted an impressive list of personalities, like: Franz Liszt, Johann Strauss, Johannes Brahms, Emperor Josef II of Austria, King Carol XII of Sweden, two presidents of Germany, Roman Herzog and Karl Carstens, as well as Mrs. Danielle Mitterand and Prince Charles.

My favorite hotel in Romania!
Sibiu is home to my favorite hotel in the entire country: the Imparatul Romanilor (the 'Roman Emperor'). This regal grande-dame first opened in 1555 and has hosted the Austro-Hungarian Emperor, composer Johann Strauss, and me! Doors to each room are framed in handworked rosewood. The rooms, though small, are very attractive. At $45 a night (in 1999), it was a treasure. It's exceedingly well-located: you can walk almost anywhere you would want in Sibiu from the front door of the hotel. It also hosts a wonderful restaurant, though the local black marketeers who seem to make up most of the clientele, tend to detract from the enjoyment a bit.
I paid about $45 per night in 1999.
Unique Quality: They take credit cards! (at least Visa, Eurocard, and Mastercard, that I know of). Unfortunately, I cannot tell you for certain what their telephone number is: I have simply seen too many different ones listed and my visit was long enough ago (2000) that I can no longer trust the number on my receipt. On the other hand, given its size, I don't think you will have any trouble just walking in the front door--like I did.

Roman Emperor Hotel
Actually the prices of this hotel dropped with the competition since 2005, check the rates as they might be very affordable, last time I checked it was EUR 60 a double room (a room not per person).
Unique Quality: Best located hotel, right near Piata Mare, 86 rooms.
